Prompting glossary
Prompt template
A reusable prompt with blanks to fill in.
What it means
A prompt template is a proven instruction with placeholders for the parts that change, such as audience, offer and platform. Templates make results repeatable and are what most prompt libraries actually contain.
How to use this in practice
Knowing the word is the easy half. The useful half is writing the instruction so the AI does not have to guess: say who it should act as, give it the background it cannot know, state the outcome you want, set the limits, and name the format the answer should come back in. That is the same structure behind every template in the free prompt library.
